A Virtual Gathering - Earn FREE product!!!

I'm testing out our new way of having a Gathering by having a Virtual Gathering.  No one has to worry about inviting anyone into their homes.  Everyone shops from the comfort of their own homes. (Not comfortable shopping online?  You can email me your order and I will add you manually to the Gathering once you pay me.)

Sending out invites to all my regular clients for sure.  If you're interested in joining us, drop me a line and I'll add you in or send you more details.

The best part?  You could earn some free stuff! 

I don't want to keep all the goodies for myself so I will be doing a random drawing from everyone who orders during the Gathering period and places an order over $25.  If the Gathering sales are high enough, I will draw more than one name!!

The great thing is that this month (from October 1 to 31 only), for any Gathering that reaches a minimum sales total of $500 or more, CTMH will bump up the rewards one level.  Instead of getting $95 in free product and one item at 50% off, they will be giving $115 in FREE product and TWO items at 50% off. 

There are still rewards for levels below $500 so no worries ... a Gathering of only $175 will still receive $30 in Free product so will definitely be selecting someone to win (unless no one decides to play along with me ...lol).  Each Gathering only needs a minimum of two orders to qualify and I will be ordering something for sure.  (Because I don't have enough stuff to last a lifetime already ...LMAO!)

Join me!  Email me with your name and you can play along with us!  The more we get, the more rewards and the more names I can draw for free stuff!

Want to do your own Gathering or Virtual Gathering?  I can help you out with that, too!

Happy Fall everyone!  The leaves are turning amazing colors around here.  It makes me happy.  Love fall!

Create a layout using FIVE different patterned papers on the layout.

Can't wait to see your creations!

No September Challenge

Since I am so far behind that I think I am first, I am  not posting a challenge this month.  Summer was so busy for everyone that no one had time for the last two anyway and with back to school this month and getting used to a school routine again, I decided to give it a rest this month.  :-)

I will be back with a new Challenge in October ... and don't forget Oct 2 is National Card Making Day!

I had hoped to have something fun going on for that day but turns out I have to work even though I had asked for it off.  Boooooo!  Ah well.  Gotta pay for my addiction hobby one way or another.  :-)

August DT Projects

This month I gave the girls:

X7126C - Passages Level 2 papers

Z1318 - Passages Epoxy Clips

Z1309 - 4 1/2" Assortment clear cards

and told them to go to town!

This is what Irma did for you!  She cut the clear cards apart and linked them together using hinges to make this super cute photo stand. 

Nikki stuck with the cards as they are and incorporated a couple of the CTMH stamp sets.  Her first one, adding in D1217 - Free Spirit and for the second one she used Cherish the Moment (May 2010 Stamp of the Month).  They both turned out so cute and the word circles fits inside the round card perfectly!!!  Great idea.

I can't wait to see what they do with Septembers stuff!  Let's just say it will be

Magnifique!  LOL

July DT Projects ...

For this month, the girls were given papers from the X7125B Zippidee paper packet line along with some co-ordinating accessories.  :-)  I also challenged them to 'alter' something and here is what they came up with!!!

These are from Nikki.  Awesome scrappy pages about her boys fishing along with some detail shots.  Super cute!  She took some of the Dimensional elements and inked and stamped them as her form of altering.  :-)

Here is Irma's project for the month.  She took an old tea bag box and made it something totally new and ca-ute!!!!  Great way to repurpose something that would just get tossed out!  Plus she used the leftovers to make a matching mini book! 

Are these girls amazing or what???  So lucky to have them on my team!

Last day for the $2, $4, $6 for 8 Sale!
